(radically trivial) The book of FF

WARNING TO ALL MEMBERS OF FF. THE TONE AND LANGUAGE IS GOING TO CHANGE A BIT HERE.

Conceptless and with a bladder full of CAPPUCCINO, the Facetious Fascist (angry as hell and white as a lily) gives up on THE CAVE, THE REPUBLIC.

After quoting in Greek, evoking Neo-Hegelians and Jacques of all kinds, quoting all its quotes from philosophy textbooks, The Radical Tangerine (like all books by Forrest Gump who is now teaching in the philosophy Department at the University) finally gets down to the REAL business and here the scribe realizes that after all the quotes there is still something that the quotes and other headlines do not explain, something nagging at the IT (angry as hell and white as a lily) something that all its quotes and the Greek alphabet cannot contain... something that the concepts that Forrest Gump (who is now teaching recent continental philosophy at the University) taught him cannot get hold of... to hell with concepts... concepts are frauds... just like these guys... the real thing, the real thing that tells you what life is really about... the real thing is... is... actually there are several... several real things that help you to get hold of the world, to really really see it like it is... the real world not the (bloodless abstraction) fraud world... (dissimulation? is this what these guys mean? what do these guys mean?) are they for or against philosophy? actually there are several things... actually not several but TEN things (THE REPUBLICAN? the republic?)...

TEN "THINGS" THAT EVERY FACETIOUS FASCIST SHOULD USE TO KNOW THE REAL WORLD (BEYOND THE FRAUD OF CONCEPTS):

ONE:: Get Rid of CONCEPTS and abbreviate the world. Example: "IDIOT"
TWO:: Get Rid of CONCEPTS and use cartoon characters to see what the world is really like—it makes things real simple. Example: "BUTTHEAD"
THREE:: Get Rid of CONCEPTS and refer to movies that have no contents but a lot of physical humor—the more physical humor the better suited for the young men (angry as hell and white as a lily) who are caught between adulthood and adolescence (why do these guys talk like that?). Example: DUCK SOUP (also Marx, Marx, get it—very droll!)
FOUR:: Get Rid of CONCEPTS and copy Greek passages in your writing. Example: rabochii klass v sotsialnoi strukture razvitykh kapitalisticheskikh str
FIVE:: Get Rid of CONCEPTS and and use SEXIST innuendoes. Example: "Spokesmodel"
SIX:: Get Rid of CONCEPTS and use overtly racist references. Example: "Brooklyn accent"
SEVEN:: Get Rid of CONCEPTS and be proudly HOMOPHOBIC. Example: “pederasty”
EIGHT:: Get Rid of CONCEPTS and advocate traditional values. It does not matter whether you actually believe or even know what traditional values are. Learn from Leader Gingrich: he advocates “family values” and he does not allow the fact that he dumped his wife when she was no longer "pretty” enough to be presented to the lobbyists in Washington. Just go ahead and do it. Example: defend Forrest Gump (who now teaches American Literature at the University) as an example of “traditional scholarship”, as if he knows “traditional scholarship" if he sees it. Use Gingrich as your model. Never mind that Forrest Gump's scholarship is mostly plot summaries of novels. Just say YES!
NINE:: Get Rid of CONCEPTS and use the equivalent of physical humor when you talk about the world. Example: Thought police, pre-dawn raid, CRACK!
TEN:: Get Rid of CONCEPTS and Don't let your inferiority complexes show. Example: talk about CENTER FOR SELF-IMPORTANCE
ELEVEN: (there were supposed to be only TEN points but this is a bonus point): Get Rid of CONCEPTS and IF ANYONE SAID YOU ARE SEXIST, RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC. . . TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE A WRITER AND WRITERS ARE FREE SPIRITS, THEY ARE FREEE (3 e'S) TO SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT. WRITERS ARE NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT; POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RESPECTS OTHER PEOPLEĆS SENSE OF HISTORY. WRITERS ARE WRITING OUTSIDE HISTORY; THEY EMBODY FREEEDOM (with 3 eĆs) OF THE IMAGINATION, THEY ARE . . . YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE (bladders full of cappuccino running in the stair wells)

And this in exactly what Forrest Gump (who is teaching creative writing at the University) did when he taught us Checkov and political incorrectness (as a sign of freedom). Why is Checkov so popular? Why is Forrest Gump (who is now on vacation writing a spy story) talking about him all the time? Why does Forrest Gump (who is now writing THE DOORS STORY) edit Checkov? Oh, I get it? he is like THE REPUBLIC (or is it REPUBLICAN?), Voltaire, Swift? he is the guy who calmed the fear of the petty-bourgeoisie of his time on the eve of THE revolution? Forrest Gump says writers are born free. . . Spokesmodel, pederasts . . tell it like it is . .give my English language back or. . . I'll get my buddies at NRA to. . . get my language back for me. . .

Are these guys radical? Forrest Gump said no, they do not make Molotov Cocktails and I don't know Mother Jones?

MOTHER JONES? Forrest Gump (who now is organizing poetry readings for trade unions at the university) says she is a radical trade unionist. . . but these guys are opposed to unions... they must not be radical... who are these guys? they don't speak English... they do not have a box of chocolates. . . do they? am I becoming an IT GUY? am I the guy they are after? They got the wrong guy? who in the right GUY?
